Question by starlette: What does “Low Blood Count” mean?
Okay, so not long ago I went to my doctor and I got blood work. He said everything was fine (which I was shocked about) but he said that I have low blood count. I asked what that means and he said its not too low yet but we have to keep an eye on it. So What the hell does “Low blood count” even mean? I tried to do some research on google, but I barley found anything. I found something that mentioned something about loosing blood, and I was wondering could this have anything to do with cutting? I have been struggling with it for a little more than a year now. I’ve had some bad scares that left me in the hospital with stiches, so im just wondering is this the cause of it? Thanks

Your doctor should have told you which blood cells, your white or red ones. The white blood cells have to do with your immune system and the red blood count has more to do with carrying oxygen throughout the body. It has nothing to do with cutting. This causes you to lose both. I really don’t understand why this doctor was so mysterious about it unless he was fishing and suspected that you might be cutting too. Why were you shocked when your blood work came back fine anyway? This doctor doesn’t even mention what you need to keep an eye on either. Please go back to him/her and insist on knowing exactly which cells are low and what this might mean. You can also get a copy of the results from the lab that did the blood work too. You have the right to any medical test done on you because this is a part of your medical record. Good luck and God Bless
